Year of New Beer: Everybody Wants Some *Citra*, Hoof Hearted Brewing (OH)

Written By: Dion on 02/27/2016

The beers seem to get cloudier with each release, but if they keep tasting like this...Ridiculously juicy nose features mango, pineapple, and traces of lemon zest, all of which are joined by a slight dankness with warmth. The flavor is just a bit of a drop from the aroma, but not much. Tropical fruits again take center stage, coming off pithy and a little green. The tartness has just a trace of malt backbone, but even without the balance, the bitterness is never overpowering. More like a hoppy breakfast juice than beer. Outstanding, and better in my opinion than the Nelson Sauvin version from a little while back.
